<p>I grew up in southern california. I was spoiled with socal weather and anything below 60 degrees is "cold" to me. I know I can handle the weather, but even so, a little mental preparation as to the degree of coldness would be nice. =) thanks!</p>
<p>futurenyustudent: Stern does have MAP requirements. I don't know what they are, but maybe you can look them up online on Stern's website.</p>

<p>I'm actually in San Jose right now. :D So I can make some comparisons for you. Summer's generally 70-100 deg. F with little humidity, right? Well... you might be in for a bit of a shock in NYC.</p>
<p>First off, winters can get absolutely frigid. This last winter was record-breaking - we had so much snow, and temperatures were quite low. You can definitely expect the temperature to drop below freezing during the winter. It can get cold enough that on a 15-minute walk from Union Square to class, my muscles in my chin get so numb and stiff that moving my lower lip to talk or whatever can be a little... interesting. :)</p>
<p>Fall and spring are generally not a problem. The humidity can get icky if the temperature rises, but usually it'll rain so the humidity will go back down. You'll want an umbrella and good water-resistant shoes because some of the puddles get big and deep.</p>
<p>If you plan to stay for summer, that may not be fun at all. The temperature is much like southern Cali's, but the humidity is 3-4 times higher. For example, you'll get 90 degree days with 90% humidity. Not fun, I tell you.</p>
<p>I hope I didn't scare you too much. :D It's just... very different from California. If you have more questions, just ask.</p>
<p>haha...thanks, that helps!</p>

<p>i dont think this is meant for chances, but i think you look good too. not that im an admissions dude or anything, so it doesnt matter what i think.</p>
<p>lol i know i'm messing with you...but sorry i called you her...your name is rachel212 so i figured you were a girl.</p>
<p>haha, i get it now</p>
<p>{im slow}</p>
<p>lmao thank you i didn't want you to think i'm a pompous a**. (which i am)</p>
<p>excel, rachel212, brand_182:</p>
<p>I generally try to avoid threads about chances because I flat-out don't really know. :) I don't want people to think I can tell them if they can make it in. </p>
<p>That being said, I'll give my patented piece of advice to all would-be NYU students: higher test scores NEVER hurt. I would guess that to have a real chance at NYU, you'll need at least a 600+ on any given section of the SAT I or SAT II, challenging coursework, and devotion to some extracurricular activities. Bear in mind that this is only my guess.</p>
<p>Good luck to you guys. If you have any more questions, ask. :D</p>
<p>If i wanted to major in Psych in CAS could i also take on a comajor at Stern like for example International Business?</p>
<p>drea: Sorry, no. CAS students cannot major or minor outside the school unless they're in a special program of some sort. If you want to do Psych but be in Stern, you'll have to apply to Stern.</p>
<p>Hi shades_children. Just wondering if you were still around.</p>
<p>goyoungha, I'm still here. I just don't post as often now that people are asking questions that I don't know the answers to, like squirrelly housing rules and finance questions. :D If you have a question, though, I'll do my best. :)</p>
<p>Wonderful! What do you think of 6 day a week classes? :)</p>
<p>goyoungha, I'll be honest. My first reaction was, "Urgh."</p>
<p>Now that I think about it, it might not be so bad. It depends on how you've got your schedule set up. If you're talking 3-4 classes a day for six days, then you're totally crazy. If you mean 3-4 classes a day for three days and then one class a day for three days, then it's doable.</p>
<p>Honestly, aside from the workload issues, I'd be annoyed with having to go to campus 6 days a week. Five days a week with only a Friday monring recitation was annoying enough - I can't imagine six days a week.</p>
<p>hi shades_children,</p>
<p>is it overkill to bring a safe to keep your valuables in? do a lot of nyu students do this? thanks</p>
<p>starry_heights:</p>
<p>What kind of safe, and what kind of valuables? Where are you going to be living?</p>
<p>My initial reaction was that it'd be total overkill, but if you don't trust your roommates to lock the door and not leave their keys lying around, a little bit of paranoia isn't bad. However, I'd caution you against bringing anything too expensive or exotic. If you could give me more details, then I think I'd have a better sense of your problem.</p>
<p>Hi, I'll be starting NYU fall of 2007 and have a couple questions. </p>
<pre><code>Is there a cap on the number of majors and or minors you can have? Or is it basically how ever many classes you manage to take?
</code></pre>
<p>Also, have you had any experiences with finding internships through NYU? Were they helpful, or was it a go it alone experience?</p>
<p>Lastly, I'm also interested in studying abroad in London probably during my junior year? How was that experience - both there, and getting there? Also I doubt you can answer this but do you have any idea if there was a kosher food plan there? Don't worry about that last one, I just figured it couldn't hurt to ask. </p>
<pre><code> Thanks!
